When I was growing up in the Philippines in the late 1930's, my yaya (nanny) told me that a child who take care of his(her) aging parents is blessed and will certainly go to Heaven when he( she) dies. I was not able to do this, since I was in the US when my parents were in their senior years. Our youngest sibling was the one who took care of our aging parents and she is blessed!
Today, as I witnessed my younger son takes care of her Mom, reminds of the above paragraph. My heart is full of gratitude of what my son is doing for her Mom. I hope you go directly to Heaven when its your time to say Good Bye in Planet Earth.

To all our friends and relatives who calls every now and then to inquire on Macrine's Health status, thanks a million again for your concern.
